Chapter 1439: Arrogant Onitsuka Taku

The group walked towards the fifth floor of the hotel.

Li Jinghan deliberately walked side by side with Pi Yangyang, turned around and said softly: "Mr. Pi, whether the rest of my life will be good or bad is all in your hands."

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but smile and said, "You're putting a lot of pressure on me."

Li Jinghan said seriously: "I believe you, you will not let me down."

When they arrived at the fifth floor, the staff at the entrance of the hall asked them and let them into the venue.

"Sir, the location of Huaxia is over there, please follow me."

A young woman in uniform pointed to the front left corner of the hall and said.

Pi Yangyang looked over and saw Lu Xiuran and others were already sitting there.

Then he took a quick glance and saw that the person sitting in the middle seat was obviously from Country J.

And right next to the J country people are the group of Korean people.

There are already quite a few people sitting on the left, and they look like South Asians.

It seems that this exchange meeting was attended not only by people from China, Japan and South Korea, but also by many people from South Asia.

There were also many reporters at the scene, with cameras and guns set up everywhere.

There are also many European faces among them. They are sitting on the right side. They should be guests invited to watch the event live.

Following the staff to the front left, I saw several reporters holding microphones and interviewing Lu Xiuran.

"President Lu, what do you Chinese think of this exchange meeting?"

"It is said that this exchange meeting is actually a medical skills competition. President Lu, are you sure you can win this competition?"

"You Chinese have always firmly believed that Chinese medicine originated from China. But now Chinese traditional medicine seems to have no presence in the world. Moreover, almost all hospitals in China are Western medicine. President Lu, what do you think about this matter?"

These reporters' questions were very sharp and were directed directly at the Chinese traditional Chinese medicine community.

Lu Xiuran said: "It is indisputable that Chinese medicine originated from China. As for what you said about Chinese traditional medicine being gradually replaced by Western medicine, this is actually easy to explain.

"Because Western medicine is more in line with the interests of some capitals. For the sake of profit, some capitals deliberately discredit and demonize traditional Chinese medicine and promote the advancement of Western medicine.

"As time goes on, many people are deceived by this kind of misleading propaganda and begin to reject traditional Chinese medicine and choose Western medicine..."

Pi Yangyang couldn't help but nodded slightly.

It seems that Lu Xiuran has some understanding of the current situation of Chinese medicine.

"But...if Chinese medicine is really as miraculous as you Chinese people claim, then why is it being squeezed out of the market by Western medicine? This can only mean that you Chinese people don't believe in Chinese medicine anymore..."

The reporter kept on asking this question.

Pi Yangyang stepped forward and said, "What exactly is Chinese Traditional Medicine like? You will naturally know it after this exchange meeting."

Lu Xiuran turned his head and took a look, then greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Pi."

Pi Yangyang nodded slightly as a response.

The reporter asked again: "According to some information, this time Japan and South Korea have made comprehensive preparations and claim to win this exchange meeting. President Lu, are you ready to deal with it?"

Lu Xiuran said sternly: "Don't bother with this. Just as Mr. Pi said, everything will be clear after the exchange meeting.

"Sorry, we have to prepare for the exchange meeting, so we are not accepting interviews for the time being. Thank you!"

Lu Xiuran was obviously a little annoyed by the question and ordered him to leave.

Pi Yangyang waved his hand, and Chu Ge quickly called Zhuque and Xuanwu to step forward to block these reporters and stop their endless harassment.

"Mr. Pi, it has just been confirmed that the great medical sage of their J country is called Yamaguchi Ioritake..."

After Lu Xiuran asked Pi Yangyang to sit down, he turned around and whispered to him.

Before he could finish, Pi Yangyang was startled, then he laughed softly, "What kind of a weird name is that?"

Lu Xiuran smiled and said, "Although his name seems a bit strange, he is still very famous in the entire Chinese medicine community."

Pi Yangyang seemed to be interested and asked, "Really?"

Lu Xiuran nodded. "His father was a military doctor in that war and participated in that invasion. Back then, his father led a medical team and stole a lot of medical books in China. So, after the war, he became the most famous doctor in J country..."

Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered and he said coldly, "Another descendant of a bandit?"

"Yamaguchi Ioritake inherited his father's legacy and traveled to China to study when he was young. Because of his intelligence and talent for medicine, he was almost accepted as a disciple by the Xuanyi Sect."

Lu Xiuran said again.

"Xuanyi Sect also accepts people from Country J?"

Pi Yangyang asked in confusion.

"That's not the case. At that time, he used an alias and pretended to be a Chinese. The previous leader of Xuanyi Sect saw that he had extraordinary medical talent and did not delve into his background...

"When the sect master was about to accept him as a formal disciple, he happily wrote a letter to his family, which happened to be seen by someone, who then discovered that he was not Chinese..."

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief, "What happened next?"

"Later, the sect leader expelled him from Xuanyi Sect and strictly prohibited him from using Xuanyi Sect's medical skills. Actually, he still valued the talent and did not have the heart to kill him..."

Lu Xiu Ran shook his head and sighed.

"After returning to Country J, Yamaguchi Ioritake followed his father into the Imperial Medical Office of Country J and became a doctor there. For decades, he remained unknown, as if he had disappeared. But in the past two or three years, news suddenly spread that he had already become a national medical expert of Country J and was hailed as the number one Chinese medicine practitioner in Country J."

After hearing this, Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "The number one Chinese medicine practitioner didn't learn his medical skills from China, so how great can he be?"

Lu Xiuran said: "Mr. Pi, don't underestimate him. This man may be our strong opponent today, so please be prepared, Mr. Pi."

Pi Yangyang said nonchalantly: "President Lu, don't worry. I will make this number one Chinese medicine practitioner in Country J leave here crying today."

Lu Xiuran couldn't help but chuckle and said, "With Mr. Pi's words, I feel relieved."

At this time, Mao Deyong said angrily: "These J people don't take us seriously at all. They actually arranged such a remote area for us."

Lu Xiuran glanced at him and said, "As long as we can win this exchange meeting, it doesn't matter where we sit!"

Just then, a short-haired old man wearing a black kimono and wooden clogs walked over with a solemn look on his face.

Behind him, there were two middle-aged men with arrogant looks.

Seeing this person, Lu Xiuran slowly stood up and greeted him: "President Guizhong, long time no see."

It turns out that this old man is the president of the J Country Chinese Medicine Association, Taku Onizuka.

He and Park Dehuan, the president of the Korean Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, had visited the Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine Association before, so he knew Lu Xiuran and others.

Guizuka Taku nodded slightly and said proudly: "President Lu, nice to meet you. Welcome everyone to participate in this exchange meeting..."

Lu Xiuran said calmly: "Thank you for the invitation from President Guizhong, and for giving us this opportunity to prove Chinese traditional medicine."

"No, this time it is our J country's traditional Chinese medicine community that wants to prove it to the world! Although your China claims to have a heritage of thousands of years, in fact, our J country's traditional Chinese medicine is just as profound and can even be better than China's."

Lu Xiuran's eyebrows twitched, and then he said with a bit of arrogance: "Really? Then I'll wait and see."

“President Lu, the reason why we invited you here is to let everyone see who is the most powerful country in traditional Chinese medicine.”

Onizuka Taku was in a completely provocative posture.

Lu Xiuran was obviously a little annoyed, but before he could answer, Pi Yangyang stood up, looked at Guizuka Taku calmly, and said disdainfully: "A country can never be truly strong by stealing, robbing, and cheating. The same goes for Chinese medicine. Even if you stole many of our Chinese classics back then, the roots are still in China. You want to surpass us, that's just a dream."

Onitsuka Taku was startled, his expression suddenly turned ugly, he looked at Pi Yangyang coldly, and said in a deep voice: "How dare the young people of China speak to the seniors like this?"

Lu Xiuran said decisively: "President Guizhong, I think he is right. There is no need for you to say such things here. Everything will be clear after the exchange meeting begins."

"Okay, I will show you the reality that Chinese medicine has long been in decline!"

Taku Onizuka threw his sleeves in annoyance and turned away.

Ai Qiuming said angrily: "The president of Country J is so arrogant!"

"So we must play well and not lose to them! Otherwise, we will become a laughing stock in the world!"

Lu Xiuran said in a deep voice.
